Kind Caregiver with experience addressing physical and emotional needs. Familiar with scheduling and managing appointments, coordinating household support, and offering caring companionship. Well-organized with medications and physically fit to handle any client need. I have 20+ years of experience with alzheimers patients as well as other types of clients. I work well with families on deciding what type of care works for their particular loved one. Every need is different and I'm able to adjust to whatever the need calls for.
